:* First, article is at AfD, so this needs to be held until that's decided. Second, I'd object to this anyway. A directory listing is in no way a sufficient source for a claim of uniqueness. It isn't in any sense a reliable independent source. If we are going to discuss a subject on the front page, we are certainly not going to just parrot what they've said about themselves.

:::{{U|John from Idegon}}, I agree that this should be held until the Afd is closed. There is no claim here of uniqueness.
